4 Flu Vaccine Work Group Goals: Reduce Hospital Acquired Flu One standard of practice for healthcare workforce vaccination Readiness for NHSN required HCP influenza vaccination reporting in 2013 Process: Formed work group Developed comparative table of hospital policies and vaccination rates Finalized Coalition policy using St Francis Policy as a template Drafted Coalition CEO/CMO Commitment Letter Developed Implementation Plan template with resource materials CEO/CMO sign Commitment Letter Begin Implementation January 2012 Measurement: Percent of Coalition hospitals implementing the policy by August An increase in flu vaccination rates from baseline to >95% by Feb.1, 2013.
5 Influenza Policy Highlights Annual Flu Vaccine required for entire workforce (all staff, owned & non-owned physician practices, vendors in clinical areas, students, residents, volunteers, etc.) Same standard with employed and non employed HCP Administration period: Usually October through March; Deadline for vaccination is December 15 th. Medical exemptions for those unable to accept vaccine (follows CDC Standards) Religious exemptions not addressed however most facilities are allowing for religious exemption due to legal risk. Hospital determines how to handle workforce exempted from receiving vaccine (wear mask, minimal to no patient contact, do nothing, etc.) Most hospitals in Indianapolis are not requiring the unvaccinated to wear a mask Non-compliance with Policy: Follow current hospital process for noncompliance with any policy
6 Affiliated Universities Policy review included leaders within universities within the Indianapolis area IUPUI Health Services was included in the team Comment from university leaders concern that students could be restricted from clinical due to the cost of vaccine IUPUI provides vaccination at no cost Most facilities have a process to manage vaccination of students (at a low cost)
